  2. Institutional guidelines for the Project management

  3. Project Context • Regional standing of the project : • Several independent States involved • … And two French Overseas departments • International standing of the project • High risky project due to geothermal exploration high costs • Commercial development based on PPP relationship

  4. Project Context (2) • Several organisations involved: • Multilateral: GEF, UNEP, OAS • Bilateral :FFEM, AFD • Governmental : different ministers and public authorities, ADEME…

  5. Geo-Caraïbes Steering Committee Coordination task force Financial tool Manager Geothermal advisory panel Organisational Chart of the Project

  6. Geo-Caraïbes Steering Committee Coordination task force Financial tool Manager COUNTRY PROJECT EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Geothermal advisory panel Country Project management organisation

  7. Geo-Caraïbes Project Structure • The Project Steering Committee (PSC) will include nominated representatives of the Geo-Caraïbes involved countries, UNEP, OAS and AFD. It will provide overall guidance and oversight of the Project. • A Country Project Executive Committee (CPEC) will be created under the Project steering Committee umbrella to oversee the Geothermal development in each country. It will include representatives of the considered country, and of the beneficiaries in case of interconnection. It will have a full time Country Project Executive Manager. • A Coordination Task Force (CTF) will be established by UNEP, as a PMU, to handle the overall management, coordination, administration and financial management of the Project.

  8. Geo-Caraïbes Project Structure (2) • CTF will coordinate activities with the Country Project Executive Committees, the Financial tool Manager and the Geothermal Advisory panel. • CTF is a UNEP/OAS/AFD coordination unit. It will benefit from a permanent technical assistant and part time experts. • A Geothermal Advisory Panel (GAP) will be established by the Implementing Agency (UNEP) in order to provide neutral expertise and to guide and review surface assessments and prefeasibility studies. It will be composed of reputable international experts.

  9. Geo-Caraïbes Steering Committee • Provide guidance to the Project and monitor progress and performance • Includes nominated representatives of the Geo-Caraïbes involved countries, UNEP, OAS and AFD • Supervise the establishment of Country Project Executive Committees in each Geo-Caraïbes involved country, comprising representatives of the relevant ministries and public bodies

  10. Country Project Executive Committee(CPEC) • A Country Project Executive Manager will be responsible for the day to day management of the country project • Each CPEC will receive technical assistance from the Coordination Task Force and short-term consultancy inputs • It will benefit from the technical, juridical and financial studies done during the PDF-A and PDF-B phases

  11. Coordination Task Force (CTF) • Establish management and monitoring guidelines for the Geo-Caraïbes Project • Coordinate all activities related to the Country Project Executive Committees in conjunction with the Geothermal Advisory Paneland the Financial tool manager • Coordinate with international donors and organisations • Elaborate project eligibility criterias in coordination with the Financial tool manager, to be approved by the Geo-Caraïbes Steering Committee.

  12. Geothermal advisory panel (GAP) • Support theCoordination Task Force in the preparation of surface investigation activities • Prepare a methodological framework for the analysis and the assessment of the project from a scientific and technical point • Prepare a template for periodic reporting on the drilling execution by the sponsor

  13. Geothermal advisory panel (2) • Assess the submitted projects on geological, geophysical, geochemical and other relevant aspects • Monitor drilling execution • Provide an assessment report to the Financial tool Manager • Report to theCoordination Task Force regarding the status of the projects receiving support from the Financial tool
